After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• analyse and categorize scopes and limitations of the industrial applicability of membrane separation processes,
• apply the special design and calculation methods of individual process parameters for technically and economically relevant membran separation processes,
• perform the basic engineering of membrane separation processes,
• achieve a deepened competence for the process design through the offered training on selected exercises.

Basics of membrane separation processes; mass transfer models; general apsects of membrane, module and process design; industrially important separations (reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, gas permeation, electrodialysis and others); process design approaches; case studies.

Introduction about membrane separation processes, overview on methods for the calculation of membrane mass transfer, calculation and discussion of specific exercises

Preparation and presentation of a selected topic in the field of membrane separation processes; discussion; slide set must be provided in Powerpoint or PDF format. Alternatively, oral exam.
